Genuine reading

2 Kings 23:2-3 ESV
And the king went up to the house of the Lord , and with him all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the priests and the prophets, all the people, both small and great. And he read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant that had been found in the house of the LORD. And the king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the Lord and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people joined in the covenant.

It is pretty easy to slip into routine, religious reading.  "...all his heart and all his soul", King Josiah committed himself to the Lord.

2 Kings 23:25 ESV
Before him there was no king like him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses, nor did any like him arise after him.

Heavenly Father, please help me soften my heart toward you.  Lord, teach me to walk in your ways.  I love you, and I ask in the name of Jesus Christ.
